About
Citrine is a yellow variety of quartz, but true natural citrine is genuinely rare compared to what's on the market — most commercial "citrine" sold today is actually heat-treated amethyst, recognizable by a more orange-red tint and a whitish base where the treatment doesn't fully reach. This listing is natural citrine rough, so expect the paler, more golden tone typical of the real stone rather than that deep, uniform orange. As a rough, uncut specimen, it's aimed at collectors who want to see the stone in the state it was found, rather than a faceted or tumbled piece. Browse more in our citrine collection, see other unpolished pieces under rough & raw stones, or look at stones linked to the solar plexus chakra.
How to use it
A rough specimen like this is usually displayed as-is on a shelf or windowsill, or kept on a desk as a handling piece. Some people rotate it seasonally with other yellow or gold-toned stones. As with any crystal, treat the traditional associations as an intention-setting tool rather than a guaranteed effect.
Care
Quartz is a durable stone (Mohs 7) and generally tolerates a quick rinse with plain water if it picks up dust, but citrine's color, like many quartz varieties, can fade with prolonged exposure to strong, direct sunlight, so display it away from a constantly sun-baked window if you want the color to stay consistent. A rough specimen can have sharp or uneven edges, so handle it with a little care, and dust it with a soft cloth for routine cleaning.
Frequently asked questions
Is this real, natural citrine?
Yes, this is sold as natural citrine rough rather than heat-treated amethyst. It's worth knowing that most "citrine" on the market today is actually heat-treated amethyst, so natural citrine tends to look paler and more golden than that deeper orange color.
What does "rough" mean here?
The specimen is uncut and unpolished, sold in the raw state it was mined, rather than tumbled, faceted, or carved.
Why is the weight given as a range instead of an exact number?
Each rough specimen is a unique natural piece, so weight and size fall somewhere within the stated 250–500 gram range.
Will the color fade over time?
It can, gradually, with prolonged exposure to strong direct sunlight. Display it out of constant intense sun to keep the color stable longer.
What is citrine traditionally associated with?
Abundance, confidence, and personal power, often linked to the solar plexus chakra. This is a decorative item, not a health product.
How do I clean it?
A soft, dry cloth for routine dusting, or a quick rinse with plain water if needed. Handle rough edges with care.
